What drives the price

Existing Render Condition. Loose, hollow, or flaking render must be chipped away before new coatings can bond. We treat damaged zones with facade repair & renovation using structural mesh to prevent new cracks from opening.

Building Height and Access. Working high up requires safe metal towers to reach the upper walls. The town hall charges monthly permit fees if equipment stands on public streets or pavements.

Selected Coating Material. Special elastic paints protect walls from sea air and winter rain better than standard paint. This flexible coat seals fine cracks while letting trapped moisture escape from inside the walls.

Biological Growth and Dirt. Red dust from Saharan calima storms, sea salt, and black mold require dedicated washing. We apply specialized treatments during facade & render cleaning to clear deep stains before primer touches the wall.

Your questions, answered

What affects facade repair costs on the Costa del Sol? +

Total costs depend on work access, crack depth, and the chosen protective paint. The price is set after an on-site check to measure the building.

Why does scaffolding incur municipal permit fees on the Costa del Sol? +

The local town hall requires a permit when work platforms stand on public roads or footpaths. This legal permit protects the public and involves council fees plus monthly street space charges.

Is crack repair included in standard exterior wall painting? +

Standard painting covers simple wall washing and light surface filler. Deep cracks and loose render require solid repairs with strengthening net before paint goes on.

How does coastal moisture affect the choice of facade coating? +

Sea air pushes salt and water straight into porous exterior walls. Coastal homes need flexible, water-blocking paints that keep rain out without trapping damp inside.

What happens if I am not happy with the facade work? +

What customers say

We had our villa in Marbella cleaned and waterproofed after years of salt air and sun exposure. The team was prompt, professional, and kept everything tidy throughout the process. The facade looks brand new, and we feel much more confident about moisture protection going into the winter. Excellent local service!
James, Marbella
Fantastic experience with facade care and painting for our home in Benalmádena. Communication was quick and clear, the quote was honest, and the quality of the paint finish is top-tier. It's rare to find such reliable contractors on the coast. Will definitely use them again.
Sandra, Benalmádena
Our townhouse in Mijas needed urgent facade renovation and moisture protection. They did a phenomenal job repairing the surface and applying the waterproof coating. The house looks fantastic and the whole team was super polite and easy to communicate with.
